Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Mar 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am out of time, but I wish to ask a question. How important is it that we make the pathways a key component of an agreed future funding model?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Mar 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Exactly.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Mar 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: It would be useful to the committee to have them as well. We look forward to visiting all of the higher education institutes. It is only by going – I went to Ballyfermot – that we can get a real feel for the work being done there in changing people's lives even more so than is the case at higher education level. I thank Mr. Brownlee. I have other questions, but perhaps...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Mar 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Mar 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Good. I would not like to see the money following the private institutions when public institutions are starved of funding, especially capital funding. Thanks for that. On the accommodation question-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Mar 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: We need to look at it now. We talk about access but what if there is no affordable accommodation for students to be able to live? If we look at a county such as Mayo, for somebody living in Belmullet or Blacksod it is more than an hour to travel to the university each day and it is not feasible. Someone would need student accommodation beside or near the Mayo campus. We do not want people...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Mar 2022)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Mar 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: It would be great if Dr. Trant could supply that. Private colleges that provide apprenticeship training is a recent development. Where does Dr. Trant see that in the context of the future decentralisation of the craft model for apprenticeships? Will she speak to the role of private colleges in that? I will also ask Mr. Conlon about accommodation. Probably the biggest barrier to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Representatives from the Committee on the Administration of Justice (24 Feb 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the witnesses for their presentations and the papers they submitted beforehand. They were interesting. Often when we talk in the Oireachtas about the bill of rights, it is an abstract thing but in the CAJ submission, they made it real. I ask them to tease it out a bit more in order that people realise what is denied to people because the bill of rights is not implemented. How...

Rose Conway-Walsh: Is there a toleration from both Governments, as guarantors of the Good Friday Agreement, of the bill of rights part of that agreement not being implemented? What is available to them? Somebody has to make it happen at some stage.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Representatives from the Committee on the Administration of Justice (24 Feb 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: It is the same difference. What can the committee and the Government do to progress matters?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Representatives from the Committee on the Administration of Justice (24 Feb 2022)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Mr. Holder's suggestion that the committee writes regarding the bill of rights explicitly would be a good thing. Is the Chairman in agreement with that?
